Tiramisu Cupcakes (super easy)

Have you ever imagined eating tiramisu in the shape of a cupcake? If so, your dream has come true. These super easy, delicious cupcakes combine a fluffy coffee sponge cake with creamy mascarpone icing. Then we dust the cupcakes with some dark cocoa powder and dig into this dream.

If this recipe sounds good so far, let's get baking!




RECIPE:


Ingredients:

  • 180g soft butter
  • 160g sugar
  • a pinch of salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 180g all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 30g strong coffee (freshly brewed)
  • 250g mascarpone
  • 20g powdered sugar
  • 100g whipping cream

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a muffin tray with muffin cups
  2. Cream together the butter, sugar, and salt. Add the eggs one at a time.
  3. Mix the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl and add the dry mixture to the wet.
  4. Now take about a third of the dough and put it in another bowl with the coffee and a little flour (about 30g, the idea is to get a consistency similar to the dough without the coffee). Mix well and put aside.
  5. Fill half the muffin cups with the coffee-free batter and half with the coffee-based batter. Fold the dough into a spiral to create a marbled effect.
  6. Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Meanwhile, make the icing. Start by whisking the mascarpone and icing sugar together until just combined. Do not whisk too long or the mascarpone will become liquid.
  8. Whip the cream in a separate bowl until stiff. Fold the cream into the mascarpone mixture and fill a piping bag with the icing. 
  9. Once the muffins have been baked and cooled, you can soak them in a little coffee. The best way to do this is to take a brush and brush the surface of the muffins with the coffee.
  10. Finally, pipe the icing onto the muffins. This is where you can get creative with your design! Whether you pipe a spiral or little dots, it's up to you.
  11. Finally, dust the muffins with dark, unsweetened cocoa powder.
  12. Enjoy!

                    THE BEST BROWNIES: fudgy chocolate dream

                    Have you ever dreamed of fudgy, chocolatey Brownies?  Well, I have THE recipe that you're looking for. I changed some classic techniques and replaced a part of some of the most known ingredients to make the Brownies taste even better. So, if you want the perfect chocolate treat -jump to the recipe here. But I would appreciate if you read the following instructions to improve your Brownie -skills.  Let's go! What are the basic ingredients? For the perfect Brownies, you'll need: Butter and Coconut oil: the coconut oil gives the whole batter a really nice texture and makes the taste of the chocolate even more intense. Butter is one of the most basic but at the same time most important ingredients. To  create the fudgy consistency, we use melted butter and coconut oil . Chocolate: a Brownie without chocolate isn't a Brownie, right? So make sure to use high-quality chocolate with a high percentage of cocoa (70-80%). Sugar: I used a mixture of normal, g...

                    Raspberry Apricot Cake

                    The perfect cake for summer is soft, fluffy and has lots of fruits in it - at least, that is my opinion. I love topping it with vanilla whipped cream and serve it with an iced coffee.  Now, if you would like to enjoy a cake like that - I would suggest you try this raspberry apricot cake. It's easy to make ( another one-bowl recipe, yay!), fluffy and soft, and involves the fresh flavors of raspberries and apricots. I top it with some brown sugar to make it even more delicious. Because I am using an 18 cm / 7" pan, this cake bakes a long time in the oven. So, if you do not want to wait that long (which I can totally understand..) I would suggest using a larger pan. The base recipe for this cake is by redcurrantbakery - I used her basic vanilla cake and made my twists accordingly. The original recipe is linked here .

                    Himbeer-Aprikosen Kuchen

                    Der perfekte Sommerkuchen ist weich, fluffig und enthält viele Früchte -das ist zumindest meine Meinung. Ich liebe es, ihn mit Vanille-Schlagsahne zu essen, oder mit einem Eiskaffee zu servieren.  Wenn du auch so einen Kuchen genießen möchtest, empfehle ich dir diesen Himbeer-Aprikosenkuchen. Er ist einfach zuzubereiten (noch ein One-Bowl Rezept, juhu!), fluffig und weich, und er enthält die sommerlichen Aromen von Himbeeren und Aprikosen. Ich streue gerne etwas braunen Zucker über die Aprikosen, um ihn noch leckerer zu machen. Da ich eine 18 cm Backform verwende, muss dieser Kuchen sehr lange im Ofen backen. Wenn du also nicht so lange warten willst,(was ich absolut verstehen kann...), würde ich eine größere Form empfehlen. Dadurch verliert den Kuchen zwar an Höhen, braucht aber weniger Zeit zum Backen. Das Grundrezept für diesen Kuchen stammt von redcurrantbakery - ich habe ihr Grundrezept für den Vanillekuchen verwendet und ihn entsprechend meiner Vorstellungen angepasst. Das Or...
